I don't think such a reference exists, most of the warnings/errors are
self explanatory though (once you get used to them ;).  Isolate some
problem code and post it here, someone will point out what is wrong.

Ideally you should produce a small self contained example program and
post it together with the exact compile command line and the full
warnings/errors issued by gcc.
